Santa Clara Valley Thunderbirds - Greater San Jose Area, CA

The Santa Clara Valley Thunderbirds (SCVT) is the Early Bird Club for the greater San Jose
(Silicon Valley) area of Northern California. Currently boasting over 100 family memberships,
SCVT is one of the largest and most active CTCI clubs in the nation. Many of our members
joined without Thunderbird ownership and then proudly bought their cars following close
proximity and personal exploration.

As a member, you would enjoy friendships and collaboration at our monthly meetings and keep
abreast of T’Bird happenings via our monthly newsletter, the "Early Bird Fan." The Fan will
keep you current on our activities, parades, displays and Thunderbird technology. The SCVT
Fan has been judged a CTCI Gold Award newsletter three times in the past three years.

SCVT is a very active family oriented social club, which includes activities for both
genders. Some of our major activities include:

Both day cruises and overnight tours.

Providing cars for events such as the annual Veterans Day Parade and local high school
homecoming parades.

Community support events such as the annual Christmas gift bags for seniors and veterans
and the Toys for Tots Fly-By donation event.

Our annual summer picnic and Christmas dinner.

SCVT hosted the CTCI Bicentennial National Convention in 1976 and 1998 and the 2013, Region
3, Regional Convention.
